Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots nearby are competitive during dinner hours, easier mid-afternoon.
Dress code: Very casual — streetwear, jeans, hoodies all standard.
Noise level: Low to moderate — mostly order-and-go chatter, not designed for long conversations.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes during peak hours; faster if ordering simple wing sets.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Very limited — fries and a few non-meat sides only.
Vegan options: No dedicated vegan options.
Gluten-free options: Limited — wings are fried and may share oil; sauces often contain gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal — it’s a tight, takeout-first setup with minimal seating, better for quick solo meals than lingering conversations.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations and seating is first-come, but most customers order to-go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like fried chicken and sandwiches; no kids’ menu or high chairs.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable wings with bold seasoning when you want efficiency over atmosphere.
Skip if: You’re looking for a sit-down wing spot, group dining, or broader menu variety.
